As soon as I hear “over 10 years” I realize it’s BS and start laughing.
Romney should be ready to say that in a debate. “Why 10 years? Why not now? The voters give you 4 years — they might give me 8 — you’ve had 4, you might get 4 more. What will you do in 4 years? Let’s not talk about 10 years because we both know that that’s just pie-in-the-sky, and the voters deserve the truth.”
Amen. Cut social program like Social Security and Medicare? Really? Medicare may qualify but Social Security is a full-on Ponzi scheme based on fewer eaters and an ever-growing pool of payers. So, they plan on taking the money - or more money - and not paying it back? Good luck, they’re already doing that so not sure where they’d find more to take.
The so-called social program that needs desperate cutting is welfare. Otherwise known as the legal way to buy votes. Until and unless that sacred cow is led to slaughter there will be NO meaningful deficit reduction.
Overhauling the tax code? For God’s sake what do they plan? Adding another 40 million lines of indecipherable mumbo-jumbo? I’m thinking that’s Dem-speak code for vast increase in taxes on the vast majority of taxpayers.
We have run out of other people’s money. Full stop.
Bingo...tax increases starting immediately, and the “cuts” occur in year 10..
